If Gordon were trying to force his way out of a favored market, commentators would be picking stars from other teams to trade for Gordon. How about Klay Thompson or Avery Bradley, PLUS other players to make the salaries match? The union should reprimand Gordon for not holding up his end of the bargain. The Pelicans should be allowed to void that contract because Gordon isn't acting in good faith. If he wants to go to Indiana, maybe he can get them to send Paul George to New Orleans. Sure, the fans could be better in New Orleans, but what do you expect after CP3 and Gordon force their way out and leave the team worse when they leave? It's one thing if a contract is coming to an end and a player wants to go, but the Pelicans should be able to do something to hurt Gordon's bank account the way he hurt theirs. Obviously He couldn't give a crizzle about the fans.
Eric Gordon and Hornets head coach Monty Williams engage in on-court tiff
By Rob Mahoney
Eric Gordon never wanted to be back in New Orleans, but the Hornets opted to match the free agent offer sheet Gordon signed with the Suns last summer and retained his rights on a four-year deal. Thus began a nightmare that few could have anticipated; even with Gordon's preference to fly to Phoenix known, few restricted free agents boo-hoo their way through the beginning years of a lucrative contract. The Hornets liked Gordon enough to make him the key asset in their return package for Chris Paul, and liked him enough still to agree to pay him $58.4 million over the life of his contract. But something clearly didn't click for Gordon, who was quick to cause a stir with his bizarre, relatively unexplained absence to start the season, fitted with veiled comments that did little to hide his displeasure.
All of this was odd considering that Gordon was playing for an emerging head coach who seems to be genuinely well-liked by his players, much less sharing the court with a massively talented rookie in Anthony Davis, a growing point guard in Greivis Vasquez, and a fellow floor-spacing sharpshooter in Ryan Anderson. New Orleans may not be able to offer a playoff shot this season, but it did provide a chance to get in on the ground floor of something new and exciting — as opposed to the relative malaise of toiling away on Phoenix's weirdly inert roster.
And thus Gordon's pouting continued, through uninspired performances and disinterested sound bites alike, culminating over the weekend with a fiery encounter with New Orleans head coach Monty Williams. The conflict between the two men is no longer hidden behind choice words or poor body language, but on display for the basketball world to see. Andrew Aragon of NBA.com details the events:
Hornets coach Monty Williams and point guard Eric Gordon got into a screaming match during a timeout with 8:37 left in the third quarter. [Paul] Millsap had just scored on a putback to put Utah ahead 55-47 and New Orleans called a timeout. Williams was visibly agitated, yelling in Gordon's direction. He had to be held back by assistant coach Randy Ayers after Gordon hollered back at him, and when the team went to the sidelines, Williams continued screaming at Gordon. Gordon, the team's leading scorer, did not return to the game after the confrontation.
Not a good look from either party, but hardly a surprise given the way that Williams has addressed questions about Gordon throughout the year and the utter indifference with which Gordon has played of late. It was by no conjured rumor that Gordon's name was bandied about in the lead-up to the trade deadline, after all; it would undoubtedly behoove both parties to move on and away from one another at this point. But finding fair value for a talented player with such extensive injury history may not be easy, particularly considering the price tag and baggage with which Gordon now comes saddled.

BWW Reviews: Go See JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE Before It's Gone From Open Stage
August Wilson, who died in 2005, was not only African-American, but a Pittsburgh native, and his work combined the two themes spectacularly. The Pittsburgh of JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE, the second of his plays in the Pittsburgh Cycle, is the Pittsburgh of 1911, specifically that of the Hill District, an area where streets seem nearly vertical, and where houses are large - and were frequently used as boarding houses. In the 1960s, when Wilson was writing and working there, he co-founded Black Horizon Theater in that same district that is now becoming increasingly re-gentrified and white. JOE TURNER is a massive play in and of itself, clocking in at nearly three hours - but at Open Stage of Harrisburg, as directed by Don Alsedek in its fourth year of August Wilson plays, there's proof that time is relative, as no one cares about the show's length; the performances are simply that riveting.
Open Stage has, intentionally or not, created an ensemble that performs August Wilson all but in repertory, and the results are well worth it. Seth and Bertha Holly, the boarding house owners, are played by Open Stage Wilson production veterans Daniel Fordham and Broadway World award nominee Sharia Benn. Their long-suffering tolerance of their tenants' foibles is admirable - although Bertha specializes in silencing problems with a cup of coffee and a biscuit (which isn't a bad way to handle things even now). The tenant with the most foibles is undoubtedly Bynum Walker, a root doctor who arrived in Pittsburgh some time back with his skills, his beads, and his bags of herbs, and who now performs strange rituals in the back yard with the pigeons in the mornings. As played by Open Stage and Gamut Theatre Group veteran Aaron Bomar, Bynum is the sympathetic listener and confidant, the provider of advice both within and without the hoodoo spectrum, to other tenants and to clients who come to see him from off the street. Although spirituality and religion are discussed freely throughout the play, it is Bynum who is the spiritual center of the circle surrounding the Holly residence.
White peddler Rutherford Selig, played more than ably by Open Stage and Allenberry veteran Richard Johnson, is an interesting character - more so because in Wilson's work Selig is quite clearly Christian, although peddlers such as Selig were historically Jewish, as is Selig's last name. However, he's very clear on his family's history - and family and history are two deep-seated themes in this play. Selig comes to Holly's house because Seth is a fine metalsmith, making pots, pans, dustpans and other useful things that Selig sells on his route; but Selig has a second job, as he is able to find people. Bynum wants Selig to find the "shiny man" who helped him discover his "song," his ability to bind people together, or to causes or events. According to Bynum, everyone has a song; some people have just lost theirs.
Bynum is the friend of younger tenant Jeremy Furlow, portrayed by Jeremy Patterson, a road construction worker (for Pennsylvanians, a pre-PennDOT worker), and the root worker for the lonely Mattie Campbell (Tanisha Hollis), which brings Patterson and Campbell together but, as we discover, clearly fails to bind them. Seth Holly is worried that his house remain respectable, and he clearly fears and suspects Southern African-Americans, even Bynum, but he seems to have little concern other than that the money for Mattie's meals is paid when Jeremy asks if she can move in with him. In Fordham's hands, the apparent contradiction seems less contradictory than it might be; he is concerned with violence and drunkenness, but he is not as religious as Benn's Bertha, and has no intention of preaching on private morality - only when the extremely attractive, underemployed, and able-to-pay Molly Cunningham (Aneesa Neibauer) arrives and mentions her enjoyment of male company do we hear moralizing, and that on the illegality of prostitution.
The Hollys' boarding house is stirred up by the arrival of Herald Loomis (Leonard Dozier), a former church deacon with strange habits who professes to be looking for his wife, and his young daughter Zonia (Tierra Fuller), who accompanies him. Zonia wants to play - especially with the neighbor boy, Reuben Mercer (Madison Bond, II), and the two are really charming, neither overly cute nor scene stealers, but both with some serious talent. Fuller, as Zonia, in her first stage role, is capable of displaying a young girl's emotions turning on a dime. It is to be hoped that both of these young people will continue to try their hands at stage work. Dozier, meanwhile, is everything that Loomis needs to be - dark, intense, promising danger, a man with a barely contained rage inside. Loomis' fit at the end of Act One, with the interplay with Bynum, who is all but prophesying from Ezekiel as Loomis describes his hallucinations, is possibly the most masterful performance of the season. Dozier and Bomar must be singled out for this incredible moment of stage work.

If your files are named differently, change the number of periods in the sed 's/...\(.*\)/\1' bit to match the numbers of characters you need to cut off the front of the file.
Note: This only writes the titles.
Assumes that the files are named in numerical order (ie. 01 Filename.mp3). It will set the track number as tracknumber/totaltracks (ie. 1/14). This will write both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags.
Note: This only writes the track numbers.
this will open a new tab in firefox for every line in a file
the sleep is removable but i found that if you have a large list of urls 50+, and no sleep, it will try to open all the urls at once and this will cause them all to load a lot slower, also depending on the ram of your system sleep gives you a chance to close the tabs before they overload your ram, removing & >2/dev/null will yield unpredictable results.
Unmounts all CIFS-based network drives. Very nice for shutting down network mounts on a Linux laptop just prior to going to sleep.
Just an alternative with more advanced formating for readability purpose. It now uses colors (too much for me but it's a kind of proof-of-concept), and adjust columns.
after kernel build with make deb-pkg, I like to install the 4 newest packages that exist in the directory. Beware: might be fewer for you....
since awk was already there one can use it instead of the 2 greps. might not be faster, but fast enough
Very simple web server listening on port 80 will serve index.html file or whatever file you like pointing your browser at http://your-IP-address/index.html for example.
If your web server is down for maintenance and you'd like to inform your visitors about it, quickly and easily, you just have to put into the index.html file the right HTML code and you are done! Of course you need to be root to run the command using port 80.
Find all files in /var/spool/mqueue older than 7 days, pass to perl to efficiently delete them (faster than xargs or -exec when you've got millions or hundreds of thousands to delete). Naturally the type, directory, and file age vars can be adjusted to meet your specific needs.
Instead of deleting an existing symlink and then re-creating it pointing at the new location, it is possible to perform the same action with this one command.
Interesting discussion on whether this is possible to do atomically here: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=526119
Specify the size in bytes using the 'c' option for the -size flag. The + sign reads as "bigger than". Then execute du on the list; sort in reverse mode and show the first 10 occurrences.
By default, slot 1 is used for OTP purposes and validates against the Yubikey servers. Running the command above will replace that. If you have a Yubikey 2 or above, you can change -1 to -2 and program the second slot with a strong static key.
Linux specific, requires iproute2 (but most distros have that by default now)
This command is Linux compatible.
It will prompt the user for a new password at next logon
Same as 7272 but that one was too dangerous
so i added -P to prompt users to continue or cancel
Note the double space: "...^ii␣␣linux-image-2..."
Like 5813, but fixes two bugs: [1]This leaves the meta-packages 'linux-headers-generic' and 'linux-image-generic' alone so that automatic upgrades work correctly in the future. [2]Kernels newer than the currently running one are left alone (this can happen if you didn't reboot after installing a new kernel).
There is a huge number of supported "languages" to which you can export your .fig figures to. See. 'man fig2dev' (http://linux.die.net/man/1/fig2dev).
Requires installed command line PHP. Also, try at different dimensions of terminal window
Will rot 13 whatever parameter follows 'rot13', whether it is a string or a file. Additionally, it will rot 5 each digit in a number

I'm bummed that this took 228 characters. I'd like to see a simpler version.
A *.tar.gz file needs to be unzipped & then untarred. Previously I might have unzipped first with
gunzip -d file.tar.gz
and then untarred the result with
tar -xvf file.tar
(Options are extract, verbose, file)
Using the -z (decompress) option on tar avoids the use of gzip (or gunzip) first.
Additionally the -C option will specify the directory to extract to.
Loop is needed if you have more then one card.
probably only works if you have one graphics card.
used this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/
as reference
can be expanded, for example:
lspci -v -s `lspci | awk '/VGA/{print $1}'` | sed -n '/Memory.*, prefetchable/s/.*\[size=\([^]]\+\)\]/\1/p'
will just get the amount of prefetchable memory
compare to:
lshw -C display
which does not give the size (it does give byte ranges and you could calculate the size from that, but that's a pain)
Also uses a command which is not standard on linux; wheras lspci is a core utility provided by most systems

An attempted robbery backfired when the victim fatally shot his attacker Tuesday night in northwest Miami, police said.
About 7:30 p.m., police were called to 7000 NW 15th Ave. following reports of gunshots outside an apartment building. When they arrived, officers found two men who had been wounded, one of them critically.
Both were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where the man identified as the attacker died shortly afterward. Police did not identify the two men.
Miami police gave this account:
A man was approached by another armed man who demanded his belongings. The would-be robber then shot the man in the hand.
The victim, whose injury was said to be non-life-threatening, pulled out his own handgun and shot his attacker several times, leading to his death.
Police are investigating the initial shooting by the attacker.

Gorebyss was hit the hardest by the Shell Smash + Baton Pass ban. With her main strategy outlawed, she had to change tacks to keep her head above water. Fortunately for the pink fish, Shell Smash allows her to be an excellent special sweeper in her own right. A base 114 Special Attack stat gives her attacks plenty of punch, and after a Shell Smash, she can be quite intimidating. As she commonly carries Life Orb, she must be wary of residual damage, which can make it difficult for her to sweep. She is also somewhat frail, and taking an attack while setting up can see her sweep cut short by Life Orb recoil. She does need a little support, but under the right circumstances, Gorebyss can be so utterly devastating that her victims will be left curled up in a dark corner, traumatized and reduced to tears, a mere husk of their former selves.
After one Shell Smash, Gorebyss becomes an extremely potent sweeper. She has almost perfect coverage in three moves, and few Pokemon can stand up to her onslaught. Surf is the main choice of STAB move, as it is both powerful and accurate, but Hydro Pump can be used if one feels that more power is needed. Ice Beam is a staple of any Water-type sweeper, and it allows her to blast through Grass- and Dragon-types that resist her Water-type STAB move, such as Tangrowth, Roselia, and Druddigon. Hidden Power Grass is the most useful choice for the last slot, as it can OHKO or deal significant damage to foes that could otherwise wall Gorebyss, such as Quagsire and Lanturn. Ferroseed walls Hidden Power Grass variants, so Hidden Power Fire can be used to fry it instead. However, Hidden Power Fire has little use outside dealing with Ferroseed, so Hidden Power Grass is usually preferred.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Shell Smash is Gorebyss's defining niche, and she struggles to differentiate herself from other Water-types outside of this role. That being said, she does have a few useful options that can be used successfully. While Baton Pass + Shell Smash is banned, there's nothing stopping her from Baton Passing other things. Substitute, Agility, Amnesia—all of these can be passed to devastating effect if used correctly. Passing a Substitute is a great way to get a frail sweeper onto the field, and can be used to shield a key team member from status; this works rather well with rain support and Gorebyss's Hydration ability. Passing an Agility can work in much the same way as Shell Smash, and if the recipient is an exceptionally powerful sweeper, such as Aggron, the difference is negligible. She can also provide Defense and Special Defense boosts to a Baton Pass chain with Iron Defense and Amnesia, respectively. Rest can be used with Hydration and rain support in place of one of Gorebyss's coverage moves, but her frailty in addition to the Defense drops makes Rest hard to use effectively.
Checks and Counters
Lanturn and Quagsire are some of the best Gorebyss counters available. Both have access to the Water Absorb ability, and they resist all of Gorebyss's attacks except Hidden Power Grass. Lanturn in particular can fry Gorebyss easily with its Electric-type STAB moves. Mandibuzz is bulky enough to take a Hydro Pump and force Gorebyss out with Whirlwind, and with a few turns of Life Orb recoil, entry hazards might just KO her next time she switches in. Paralysis absolutely ruins Gorebyss, and Pranksters, such as Murkrow and Cottonee, can check her confidently. Priority can KO Gorebyss after the Defense drop from Shell Smash, and Entei, Hitmonlee, and Absol can all check her mid-sweep.

A Bridgeville man has been arrested following a brief chase in Harrington.
Harrington Police say Wednesday, 42-year-old Drew Ricketts was pulled over for a traffic violation on Hanley Street. Officers say Ricketts took off, but they caught up to him again in the parking lot of a business a short distance down the street. Police say they smelled alcohol on his breath, and also found an adult, a 15-year-old and a 1-year-old in the vehicle. The two children were released to the adult, who wasn't charged.
Ricketts has been charged with driving under the influence, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child while driving under the influence, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and several other charges. Ricketts was released, and will have a later court date.

Boot, socks, and power converter question

Boot, socks, and power converter question
Could I get some assistance regarding boots and socks to wear for my safari along with where to find a power converter?
I currently wear for hunting the Meindl Perfekt Hunter Insulated (400gr) boots. These are very comfortable, but yet have a "squeaking" problem. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the sqeak? I would really like to take these with my to RSA on my hunt in September. However, I don't want to hamper my chances by having boots that squeak (not to mention possisbly irritating my PH with the noise).
These boots are nubuck leather so want to make sure I don't mess them up.
Also, are insulated boots really necessary for the time of year and climate I'll be hunting?
Here's a link to this boot.
Cabela's "Perfekt" 10 Hunter Boots by Meindl
The alternative to this boot would be to wear my good ole Justin Roper lace-up work boot. They soles are rubber but have no treads for grip. Downfall to these boots are I can't wear a heavier sock with them. I'd have to wear a basic cotton sock. They don't make a sound, however.
Here's the link to this boot.
Cabela's -- Justin 8 Lace-Up Work Boots
Do you recommend heavier cotton socks, or wool blend socks? I've heard that wool is better since they will wick moisture away from your feet unlike cotton and therefore help reduce the chance for painful blisters.
I can wear a wool or even heavy cotton sock in the Meindl's but not in the Justins.
Power Convertor:
Where I can I find one? Our local Wal-Mart doesn't have any (or online) and can't find them on Best Buy's website. Also, do I need to buy the "H Plug" for plugging into the outlets in RSA?
I am also open to suggestions for a brand of non-insulated hunting boots that would work as well.
Sorry this is turned out to be such a long post. Just wanted to get all the info out there I could.
Thanks in advance.

You can pickup the adapters at Radio shack. I bought as kit that covers just about any country.
Most modern appliances can run on either voltage. We did not bring a power converter and the few electric appliances we brought worked fine and still do.
One handy item I bought at Radio Shack was a 12 volt to 110 inverter that plugged in to a cigarette lighter. It was great for charging cameras while the generator was not running.
I used Cabelas "Smartwool" socks. They are about the only thing I wear now.
Boots bring out as many opinions as scopes and if a 375 is powerful enough.
I used Timberland Moc Toe Chukka. The PH at said at times they were too loud on close up stalks. The sole was not soft enough for stalking, but they were comfortable.
I am planning on Russel Moccasins for my next trip.
Whatever you decide for boots/socks just make certain you walk many many miles in the boots you plan on using before you fly across the big pond.

>>>Myself I wear cowboy boots all day & that is what I wore on my 2 safari's!! I can walk in them all day & they are very comfortable... I did have them resoled before i went the last time & had him put on the most rubber like sole possible with some tread on & they were pretty decent & quiet!!As far as socks I just wear the Athletic socks you find calf high. As far as wool my feet still seem to sweat & I didn't care for the extra bulk.. I love them in the cold up here in Wisconsin though!!!

Mike covered everything well................and this is a second vote for Russel footwear. You can't beat their various offerings.
For me personally I would never wear an insulated boot of any description in Africa as my feet would cook. But that is just me and I live in the land of ice and snow.Skyline Adventures
- Hunted South Africa
I would suggest that you look at non insulated boots. As September will be warm.
I have looked at the Danner Jackal boots but I use Courtney boots here in South Africa.Gerhard

- Hunted Africa...are there other continents to hunt?
I will keep my answer short.
Power = I bought a good cigarette lighter adapter from Radio shack. That way you don't even have to worry about different plugs. Plus, it can be used with any car battery with the supplied clamps. That way you will have a converter for any of your future adventures, not just an africa plug.
Boots = I've got a pair of Browning Featherweights (non-insulated) and a shorter pair of "regular" hi tec hiking boots. Both are very comfortable.
Socks = Filson lightweight or medium weight merino wool socks. Absolutely wonderul socks.Tom

Here is an article that I wrote on the subject Choosing the Right Hunting Boots & Socks
Electricity, the South African standard is 220/230 volts AC 50 Hz, three-pin 15 amp outlets however Standard European 220 volts, two-pin outlets are sometimes used as well. Many lodges/camps have generator(s) to power the electricity through rechargeable batteries therefore it is recommended to bring a small power inverter that plugs into a cigarette lighter to invert 12V DC Power to 110V AC for recharging in the hunting vehicle. Generator(s) in most camps are only run during the morning and evening hours and sometimes can be run at other times by special request. Be sure to check with your hunting outfitter in what they are using. Click here for more info.

I know my approach to this subject may not be kosher, but what people wear to Africa is a bit out of hand IMO, but perhaps that is part of the totall picture of going to the Dark Continent, and sure will tell the crew its your first rodeo..
Most PHs wear deck shoes and no socks btw! unless they are from Zimbabwe then they go barefooted.. Don't try this, they also wear shorts and most of you will be eaten alive if you try this.
I always suggest any one of the lighter boots such as Wranglers, ropers or Justin or half a dozen others and always take a pair of tennis shoes..The same thing you wear ever day and be sure they are broken in..the money saved over the high dollar boots that are not a bit better can buy you a lot of practice ammo..
I like Tennis shoes or the tennis type high top walking shoes in Tanzania and Zimbabwe as you may walk in water during the course of the day and they dry real fast..white thick cotton socks suit me and its a good idea to take some tape along to tape the bottom of your pants legs unless you want to get your balls bite by a Tetsi or a crowd of seed ticks..
Wrangler or Levi pants are the best and repel even the heineous Tetsi fly and his kinfolks..Some folks like Khaki and thats fine..wear brown not dark green in Tanzania..Tetsis like dark colors. I like golf hats that are olive or tan, but booney hats are Ok I guess.. wear nothing white but your boxer shorts.
Common since prevails, don't be a fashion plate, looking like you are an escapee from a Cabellas catalog... Go to be comfortable and protected.RAY ATKINSON

Heeler - On my May hunt in SA, I took the uninsulated Meindl boots (8") and a pair of Columbia light weight hiking boots. After 2 days, I switched to the Columbias. The Meindl's with the heavy vibram soles were took "clunky" and made too much noise.
You can get a power converter at Walmart for a few bucks. There will be several adaptor plugs included. Take both that say "Africa" on the side and leave the rest at home to save space.
Look into the zip-off leg trousers. Good quality ones can be found on eBay for about $18. You will probably not want to wear shorts - the jointed cactus will get you a couple times, even if you are careful. (Take your leatherman and keep it with you, the pliers are real handy for pulling off the jointed cactus.)
For socks, look into "Cuff-sox" (also found on eBay). Well made, but not so thick that they get hot. They have a built-in cuff that rolls down over the top of your boot and keeps debris out. I took 3 pair along and was glad that I did.

Thanks all for the advice. Those Russells do look nice but look to be way out of my price range.
Since I'll only be taking my cell phone and digital camera I'm thinking that my regular car charger for my phone will work along with buying one of the 12v power inverters.
And I'll think I'll stick with my Justins as they are broke-in like no ones business and look at some of the socks suggested.
As far as pants, I have some dickies and carhartt jeans in olive green that should do the trick nicely.
Thanks again,

Cellar/Tasting Notes Keever's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon bristles on the palate with explosive aromas and flavors that conquer all of the senses. Vibrant, floral aromatics meld seamlessly into a gracious core of fruit as the wine opens up in the class. At once structured yet delicate, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is pure..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Across the board, Chris's 2011s are more linear and supple than the 2010s, without the back-end level of depth or concentration found in that vintage. Already complex and up-front, without the density found in the 2010, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is still gorgeous. Loaded with leafy tobacco,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fleming's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts gorgeous depth and precision from start to finish. Hints of licorice, sweet spices and menthol are layered into an expressive core of dark fruit in this beautiful, complete Cabernet Sauvignon. The aromas and flavors are naturally quite primary, but there is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the stars of the vintage, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot reveals sweet burning ember, charcoal, barbecue smoke, black currant, plum, and graphite notes. This opulent, impressively endowed, medium to full-bodied 2007 possesses..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The most unique of the 2011s barrel samples, with a bright, juicy profile that includes loads of black fruit, citrus, assorted wild herbs and floral qualities, the 2011 Reserve hits the palate with a medium to full-bodied, elegant and balanced mouthfeel, sweet tannin and an overall classy..

Another example of the government and government-related organizations going bonkers:
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.
I don't see how this can be legal. First, students are forced to go to a public school. Now they are forced to eat the food served by the for-profit food vendor that most schools have in today's times? Does anyone see any similarities to jail, here? What's amazing is I can totally see these officials saying what they do with a straight face. I wonder if next, children will be required to sleep at school so they can have better sleep hygiene?
What do you think?

While I don't follow celebrities too much these days, I do have a few whose beauty and style I admire. It's not so much about copying their hair and makeup to-a-T, but rather taking their beauty philosophies and applying it to me. While all of three of these ladies have their own unique look, they all have one thing in common: they stick to what works from them. Whether it's on stage or on TV, the concept of being overdone isn't a concept that applies to these ladies. There's no need for them to drastically change their beauty look from one day to the next. They're gorgeous just the way they are. Isn't that what beauty is all about?
I didn't really become a diehard fan until she left Destiny's Child and went on her own. Jamming out to songs like "Diva" and "Single Ladies" (even after I got married!), I love how she owns her look. She's not one to jump on every beauty trend; instead she sticks to what works for her. Her honey blonde hair is signature and the perfect shade for her skin tone. Her makeup is never forced, and her dark liner and nude lip is one of my favorite makeup looks. I'm a firm believer that makeup is all about enhancing what you already have and not overdoing it. That's why I love Beyonce!
Kerry Washington
Polished, sleek and professional - those are the three words that come to mind when it comes to Kerry Washington's look as Olivia Pope on the hit show "Scandal." To me, she is the epitome of a stylish, working woman. Playing a powerful political player on her hit show, she looks flawless. The natural makeup just makes her skin so clean and fresh. While her hair maintains the same shoulder length style, it always has shine and crazy bounce appeal.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Two words: her hair! Ever since I went natural, she has become my curly hair icon! Like her mother, her hair is big and bold but refined all at the same time. When I chopped off the rest of relaxed ends three years ago, my goal was to get it just as big and as shiny as hers. Granted my curls aren't the same as Tracee's but I like to wear mine just as free (and just as big!), letting them do their thing! And oh, she can rock a hair scarf like no other!
Your turn! Who are your beauty idols?

Aquaform Inc. is a popular Polish lighting company receiving international orders, and have decided to launch their worldwide presence to enhance their business opportunities.
Czernichow – Krakow, Malopolska, Poland – November 14, 2013 /MarketersMedia/ —
Just as 'let there be light' was the first command in the story of creation, so lighting is similarly essential today in the proper functioning of a building or space.

It is an honour to have been welcomed to the UK lighting conference and our presence there will confirm our presence on the wider global market.

Activities for Scout and Youth Groups
STEMfest offers several opportunities for scouting and youth groups to get involved, learn new concepts, explore STEM careers, and earn patches.
Girl Scounts' Passport to My Future
Many careers of the 21st century will require skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). NIU STEM Outreach invites Girl Scouts to have fun at STEMfest while exploring possibilities for the future.
Girl Scouts who participate can receive an embroidered "Passport to my Future" activity patch by completing their choice of activities in each of the STEM areas and recording their experiences in a passport form.
Girls who have already earned a patch can bring or wear it and earn a VISA* patch for this year's activities. (*Very Informed STEMfest Alumna).
Girls will have their photo taken, and through the wonders of digital photo processing will take home a photo as a scientist or engineer.
Boy Scouts and Youth Group Patches
Anyone interested in earning a patch can sign up at the Scouting and Youth Group table during STEMfest. For a small donation, participants will be given a worksheet of activities to complete as they explore the fest. When finished, participants can return to the table and receive their choice of STEM patches.
Contact Judith Dymond, firstname.lastname@example.com or 815-753-4751.
Passport to My Future was originally funded by a mini-grant from the Illinois Girls Collaborative Project, a regional project of the National Girls Collaborative Project which is funded by the National Science Foundation.

The Portland Sea Dogs are a favorite for the people of Maine. This Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox is once again ready to make a dent in the Eastern League.
It has been a few years since the Sea Dogs have been able to make any kind of run in the playoffs. It doesn't appear likely that the team is going to go back to the playoffs this year, as a recent nasty losing streak has put them in a precarious position in the division.

The hacker group, Anonymous, launched a new campaign, Operation Defense, last week, and it is targeting supporters of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. In a YouTube video, the group lists companies it says are supporting the proposed law. The bill is co-sponsored by Republican Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan and Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland. The bill will open the way for more sharing of cyber intelligence between the private and public sector. Critics of the legislation fear that it will put individual privacy rights at risk. The Anonymous group claims that the first phase, which started April 12, has been successful, according to the group. The video is addressed to the citizens of the United States. Phase 2, physical protests at the locations of these companies and organizations, will begin May 1. The two-minute video closes with the group's infamous sign-off: "We are anonymous; we are legion; we do not forgive; we do not forget." Then the group added: "Supporters of CISPA, you should have expected us." Several government contractors and technology vendors were mention in the video including: AT&T, Boeing, Computer Sciences Corp., EMC, IBM Corp., Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle and TechAmerica.
"Every day domestic and international cyber attackers actively look for ways to disrupt our business operations or gain access to company sensitive information, said a Lockheed Martin spokesman. The company "actively monitors our networks for unauthorized activity and takes the necessary steps to defend our networks and protect our information."
A CSC spokesman said, "We take all threats seriously and maintain a high level of diligence at all times.

You're About to Discover…
"5 Steps To Mastering The Most Powerful,
Cost-Effective Way To Attract New
Customers And Build Your Company's
Credibility With White Papers!"
… And How YOU Can Write a White Paper
in 1-2 Days, Not Weeks or Months!
Dear Marketing Professional,
Hi, my name is Perry Marshall. During the last three years I've written over 100 white papers and magazine articles. And I'm here to tell you how to write a white paper – and assure you that writing a white paper doesn't have to be a dreary chore. It can be straightforward, pleasant, and remarkably effective.
So what is a white paper? It's your company's statement about how a problem should be solved. So if you sell any kind of complex or technical product or service – if you have an elegant solution to a challenging problem – then a well-written, well-publicized white paper may be the missing link in your sales and marketing strategy.
To help you write your white paper and get it into the hands of prospective customers, I've written a FREE five-day e-mail course. It answers the following questions:
- What's the proper length for the white paper format? I'll answer that question for you, and also show you a clever variation on the concept, based on simple 1- and 2-page documents…
- How do you include adequate technical content in your white paper without boring your reader to death? Most white papers are either too dry, or else cheesy and overly commercialized. Discover how to strike the proper balance…
- Why having a good white paper, all by itself, is almost useless – and a list of six mechanisms you can use to get web traffic and press exposure…
Again, my white paper course is free and the first installment starts right away:
I solemnly pledge NEVER to spam you or sell your email address to anyone, and of course you can unsubscribe at any time.
Perry S. Marshall
"I have been working on a "White Paper" series for several weeks… I received your 5 day mini course and I don't know whether to thank you or just stew over the time I've wasted and the headaches I've given myself… I've decided I will do both. In a matter of an hour I have already outlined 3 more projects. I am truly grateful that I happened upon your blog. What good fortune for me. Thank you sir."
-Gail M., Mundelein Illinois, posted on our blog November 14, 2010
Hi Perry,
I discovered you 4 months ago after getting increasingly frustrated with an AdWords agency I was using. All they cared about were CTR on the ads rather than landing page conversion (some snotty nosed grad always ends up working on your account, rather than the charismatic guy who sells you on PPC).
Anyhow, I bought your Ultimate Guide to Adwords…then the Whitepaper guide. And in those 4 months I've personally doubled the number of leads I'm generating for my company. This is in the ERP market where quality leads are like looking for rocking horse poop.
A big competitor in the market came after me and I got the job! Can you imagine how much that means to my wife and family? As I type I'm having a glass of wine to celebrate. Tell the world!
Thanks a million, Perry, it's good to know I've discovered one of the good guys in the shady internet marketing world.
Best wishes,
Mark Britton
Stourbridge, West Midlands, UK
What People Are Saying:

-Eric Ruth, Vice President of Business Development, DMI, Herndon, VA
From the fastest-growing industrial company in America:

-Bill Buell, Big-Ass Fans, Lexington, KY

"The success I had with my first free guide was shocking! This was less than 48 hours ago, and so far, I have gotten a 16% response! I got 10 times the response from this, so far, than I have gotten from all email messages sent for the last 3 years!"
-Mark Clark, President, Instant Access Music, Nashville, TN www.iamusic.com
